    Is fearr stuaim ná neart.
    Is treise duthchas ná oileamhaint.
    Is feárr bean ná spré.
    Is feárr leath builín ná a bheith gan arán.
    Más cam díreach an bóthar isé an tslighe mhór an aithghiorra.
    Bíonn ciuin ciontach.
    Fásann sméára gús sugha craobh ar an gcránn is isle bláth.
    Is námhaid an cheird gan í a fhóghlum.
    Níor dhún Dia bearna ariamh nar oscail sé ceann eile.
    Is minic dá ól ach is searbh dá íoc é.
    Is feárr suidhe geárr ná seasamh fada.
    Is feárr stuaim ná neart.
    Seachain an greánn a ghortuigheas créatúr eile.
    Is minic blas searbh ar an fhírinne.
    Ní bhíonn tréan buan.
    Ní neart go cur le chéile.
